Chapter 86: You’re Even More Gluttonous Than The Gluttonous Ghost
But who would have thought that these iron-headed kids from the Lu Shan Sect had such fiery tempers, and immediately a Seventh Rank one exploded into action, not caring whether he could win or not, just striking first and talking later.
“Audacious Gluttonous Ghost, even if I die here today, I’ll at least drag one of you down with me!”
With that said, he held four talismans in hand and shouted loudly:
“The supreme in heaven is the Jade Emperor, the most noble in the mortal world is the king; all ghosts and gods in the world revere it, only Lu Shan takes charge.
Earth pardon dharma altar, activate! Lu Shan Seven Absolutes, descend into the oil pot, command!”
The four talismans stacked up, and a blurry phantom of a hellish oil pot appeared, covering down toward Jiang Ce.
The Red Dragon, who had long been itching to act, was about to make a move, but One of the Bamboo Suits raised his hand to stop him.
“A whole bunch of jabber, with such a long prelude, those who don’t know might think a Heaven-Reaching Dharma Master is charging up a big move.”
He sneered: “Oil pot, is it? Let me show you what a real descend into oil pot looks like!”
The next moment, bursts of black glow flickered on One of the Bamboo Suits’ body, and a purple Great Cauldron that was countless times more exquisite than the one manifested by the Lu Shan Daoist Cultivator’s Talisman Art flew out, with spiritual energy steaming within it, scorching the air until it twisted.
The oil pot touched the Great Cauldron and didn’t even explode with the impact of collision; it melted and dissolved like wax meeting fierce fire, then the Great Cauldron flew straight toward that Seventh Rank young man.
Sensing the malice transmitted from the Great Cauldron that pierced straight to the depths of his heart, the old man was greatly alarmed.
“Evil Art! Truly an Evil Art!”
Originally he still harbored doubts, suspecting someone was impersonating the Gluttonous Ghost, after all the Lu Shan Sect had a unique style and many enemies, inevitably some grudges, but with this Great Cauldron appearing, it completely dispelled his doubts.
With this kind of Evil Art, without decades of karmic debt weighing on him, one probably couldn’t even learn the superficial knowledge.
The people here were also uncertain and shocked; those unfamiliar with Jiang Ce seeing this move for the first time immediately felt doubtful.
However, Xuan Qing and Qin Shen Bo had personally seen Jiang Ce use this move in the Great Tomb to burn a Gluttonous Ghost Ghost Disciple to death; although they didn’t see this Great Cauldron at the time, the aura from the sorcery was consistent, so Xuan Qing immediately used the sound transmission technique that only Heaven-Reaching Dharma Masters could use to tell everyone:
“Don’t panic, this is the sorcery Wei Lao taught him; it just looks like an Evil Art.”
Hearing this, everyone finally relaxed.
Jiang Ce, however, thought a lot in his mind; he had used this move once in the Great Tomb, and afterward Xuan Qing must have reported it to Wei Lao, but Wei Lao hadn’t mentioned a word about it; using it this time, one was to confirm the Gluttonous Ghost identity in front of the Lu Shan Sect, and two was with the intent to probe, but the result was somewhat beyond his expectations, as it seemed Wei Lao had taken it on for him.
Why?
But the stray thoughts in his mind didn’t slow down the Great Cauldron’s speed.
That Third Rank middle-aged man who had suffered earlier reacted quickly, immediately leaping out like a fish; with one hand he yanked the young man who was dazed by the Great Cauldron charging straight at him away from the battlefield, and with the other hand raised, intending to catch this impact single-handedly.
He was three realms above Jiang Ce; although Xuan Qing and Ku Zhen had concealed it, he couldn’t see the full depth at first glance, but once Jiang Ce made a move, he still sensed that the opponent was merely Sixth Rank.
But when the Great Cauldron landed in his hand, his confident gaze shook.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t block it, just one word: hot!
For some reason, this Great Cauldron seemed able to use spiritual energy as fuel, causing scorching from inside to outside.
Fortunately it was only Sixth Rank; if Fifth Rank, it might injure him; if Fourth Rank, it might seriously wound him; if it reached Third Rank, it could absolutely burn him alive!
With a fierce push, the middle-aged man pushed the Great Cauldron back, hiding the right hand that had hard-blocked this strike behind his back; his palm was clearly somewhat red at this time.
He forced himself to stay calm, suppressing the shock and anger in his heart, and snorted coldly: “I don’t know how many people you’ve killed to cultivate this evil technique; you’ll suffer heavenly retribution sooner or later!”
Jiang Ce was just about to speak when the impatient Red Dragon Lou Leshan beside him jumped out proudly:
“Jie jie jie, the last one who said that was some nobody from the Western Regions called North Sea Old Ancestor.
A mere Unity of Heaven and Man Heaven-Reaching Dharma Master who spoke rudely to our Holy Son, and what happened in the end? Wasn’t he captured by our Holy Son and properly tormented, letting our Holy Son ascend from Eighth Rank all the way to Sixth Rank; his head is still hanging behind our house’s latrine!
Even Unity of Heaven and Man was like that; how dare you, a mere Third Rank, act presumptuously? If we give you face, take it; if we tell you to scram, scram quickly. Our Holy Son has tasted Unity of Heaven and Man; he’s not interested in stinky fish and rotten shrimp like you. If you’re not sensible, don’t blame us for making your soul scatter and never reincarnate!”
Jiang Ce listened with a sideways glance; good grief, what a mouth, it even sounds real to me.
Seeing the atmosphere sufficiently built up, Jiang Ce coughed lightly twice and said to Xuan Qing and Ku Zhen: “Protectors, throw them out; I find them an eyesore.”
But Lou Leshan was hooked on the act and said in a shrill voice like a eunuch: “Holy Son, they’ve insulted you so much; I think we should capture them, skin them alive, draw out their tendons, absorb their cultivation, then carve them into human pigs, and throw them into the Lu Shan Sect ancestral hall as a warning to others, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
The Lu Shan Sect crowd’s faces stiffened; those with lower cultivation were already trembling all over, unable to stop shuddering.
The expression under Jiang Ce’s mask was also extremely splendid.
Damn, no, with you saying that, how am I supposed to get off stage? I’m not a real Evil Cultivator; if I really killed Righteous Sects cultivators, not to mention Wei Lao wouldn’t spare me, these two big legs behind me would sanction me on the spot.
Fortunately, Jiang Ce had a good brother.
Liang Zhi Che, wearing the Autumn mask, scolded: “The Holy Son has his own judgment; where do you get to speak? Why don’t you be the Holy Son instead?”
Only then did Lou Leshan realize he got carried away and silently retreated.
Facing the Lu Shan Sect crowd, Jiang Ce teased: “These guys are just chicken ribs to me, tasteless to eat but a pity to discard; I just want them to clearly know their death date, counting down their remaining days in fear, awaiting death; that’s the kind of fear that’s truly interesting, isn’t it?”
“Why do I feel like what he said sounds real?” Lu Yun under the Spring mask muttered softly.
“Shut up, Big Brother says it so there must be his reason!” Liang Zhi Che under the Autumn mask tugged at Lu Yun’s sleeve.
Ling Xun under the Winter mask wanted to clasp his hands in repentance but forcibly held back the impulse.
Qin Shen Bo under the Summer mask was still immersed in Jiang Ce’s recently used Golden Bell Shield pro max version, pondering if he could block this move.
Lou Leshan under the Red Dragon mask had eyes gleaming: good good good, one person actually fooled so many people completely; compared to that, what are my deception techniques? This is the ultimate I’ve been bitterly pursuing! Although we’ve known each other less than a day, I recognize you, Jiang Ce; you’ll be my brother for life!
Bang!
The house’s door was blasted apart; with one sweep of his hand, Ku Zhen threw out everyone from the Lu Shan Sect.
That old man crashed heavily to the ground, then clutched his chest, looking grim, and shouted lowly: “Quick, go!”
With no one else in the house, the waiter who had served the food earlier and the boss who came out later to check the noise, having watched immortals fight, had legs shaking like chaff.
Jiang Ce walked unhurriedly to the two: “You two, facing their bullying, why just endure it? Why not resist a bit?”
The waiter replied with a crying tone, stuttering: “C-can’t beat them.”
The boss was a loose cultivator without much distinction between righteous and evil; seeing Jiang Ce seemed harmless, he sighed: “We can’t match their big family and business; we can only endure some losses. Thanks to you all helping out, thank you.”
“Hey, don’t be so polite; if you’re this polite, how can I have the nerve to say my next words?”
Jiang Ce suddenly changed his tone and said sternly:
“Hand over anything valuable, quick!”
I’m desperate! Today I’m going all out right here in front of this computer!
